RTS (Reformed Theological Seminary) Reading List

As I consider my options for distance seminary education, I'm giving some serious thought to Reformed Theological Seminary. I really appreciated their suggested reading list to help prepare your mind a bit before you actually begin. Their top 12 list is as follows:

  1. Knowing God - J.I. Packer
  2. God’s Big Picture: Tracing the Storyline of the Bible– Vaughan Roberts
  3. The Call– Os Guinness
  4. A Long Obedience in the Same Direction – Eugene Peterson
  5. If God Already Knows, Why Pray? – Doug Kelly
  6. Reading the Bible with Heart & Mind – Tremper Longman III
  7. Salvation Belongs to the Lord – John Frame
  8. Called to the Ministry – Edmund P. Clowney
  9. Building a Christian Worldview – Andrew Hoffecker & Gary Scott Smith
  10. Truth in All Its Glory: Commending the Reformed Faith – William Edgar
  11. Church History in Plain Language – Bruce Shelley
  12. Apologetics to the Glory of God – John Frame

It is pretty much amazing that your profile description says what it does.

I'm a Sysadmin/Infosec consultant looking into my options with RTS.

What are your thoughts in this whole process?

Greetings Rebby,

I've had a very positive experience with RTS Virtual. So far I've only done the initial orientation session, which is held at the campus in Charlotte, NC. I'm hoping to take my systematic theology class this summer. I'm most excited about the flexibility that is offered with this program. Also, RTS has one of the few masters program that is nearly 100% online (except for 2 campus visits)and accredited by the association of theological schools (ATS). This is an important consideration, if you ever want to pursue doctoral studies. Best of luck in making a decision.
